With our nation’s 250th this Saturday, we’d like to repost our Pastor’s article regarding one of the Declaration of Independence’s listed complaints against King George III.

After surveying the historical context and modern application with relevant Scriptures, the article concludes: “It is no surprise that the Declaration of Independence proclaimed the economic and fundamental value of U.S. immigration. It had its own heritage: ‘Since the time of the Puritans, who emigrated from northern Europe seeking religious freedom in the West, immigration has defined the United States as a country … any debate on immigration should be couched within the premise that immigration has built this country into what it is today.’”
